Chapter 302: Chapter 302 : (Extra) Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang’s Side Story (3)

An excerpt from Feng Jietang and Lin Ruoye’s chat that day :

17.02 Feng Jietang : "Ruoye ToT..."

17.05 Feng Jietang : "Ruoye..."

17.10 *One missed call from Feng Jietang*

17.12 Feng Jietang : "Lin Ruoye, are you purposefully ignoring me??? (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠）⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻"

17.20 *One missed call from Feng Jietang*

17.32 *One missed call from Feng Jietang*

20.06 Lin Ruoye : "Senior Feng! I just got off the plane! What happened to you???"

20.07 Feng Jietang : "Ruoye... ToT..."

A call followed, during which Lin Ruoye patiently listened to Feng Jietang’s tale of woes.

"Hmmm..."

Lin Ruoye pressed her lips together in sympathy.

"I guess I forgot what kind of person Lang Yuxuan is. Sorry, Senior Feng. If that’s how he sees it, then you no longer have to care about that kiss. It is probably nothing."

"But how could he blow me off like that, Ruoye??? I am Feng Jietang, the most desirable bachelor on the market right now!"

Lin Ruoye was about to mention Yan Renzhong’s name, but then she recalled that Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei already announced their relationship a while ago.

The number of #RenWei fans was practically shooting through the roof.

"Senior Feng, Lang Yuxuan is an oddball. Besides, he must be heartbroken right now. What with Senior Yan and Senior Shen officially announcing their relationship."

Feng Jietang sniffled.

"You are right. Lang Yuxuan’s brain is damaged."

Lin Ruoye almost choked on her spit.

"Well I wouldn’t put it that way..."

"It’s fine, Ruoye, I get it. Thanks."

"..."

As a good junior, Lin Ruoye was obliged to let Feng Jietang bask in the glory of his wrongful perception, no matter how delusional it might be.

At the end of the commercial shooting, they did not meet each other again until they had to shoot for the autumn theme.

To complete the task, the two actors and the production team left for Wuyuan County. This picturesque county in Jiangxi Province was famous for its charming villages and beautiful countryside. Autumn was accentuated by golden fields and colorful trees, creating a breathtaking landscape for all those who cared to stop and enjoy the view.

Draped in the newest autumn collection of the year, Feng Jietang and Lang Yuxuan stood side-by-side, their figures illuminated by the rapid flashes of cameras.

Feng Jietang, who strived to ignore Lang Yuxuan to the best of his abilities, did not even care to look at his partner unless necessary.

Luckily, Lang Yuxuan held a similar, unspoken understanding.

Unluckily, their commercial director did not.

"Wonderful! Next is the kissing scene between our two models!" He announced in a happy, cheerful tone.

Feng Jietang looked like someone just kicked him in the groin.

Lang Yuxuan’s face darkened as if a storm cloud had suddenly enveloped him.

"Wait, what was that about?" Both men raised their voices in unison.

"I checked the script, there was no mention of a so-called kiss!" Feng Jietang shouted.

"The two men just got to know each other in summer! How are they kissing in autumn already???" Lang Yuxuan was beyond incredulous. The commercial director was allowed to write the worst love story in the history, but must he, Lang Yuxuan, take up a role in it?

"Our scriptwriter changed the script last minute after checking out Weibo’s couple popularity ranking," so the commercial director explained.

"What couple popularity ranking?" The men asked dumbly.

Apparently, after their summer-themed commercial was aired, a new couple tag began its rise in popularity.

#JieXuan was suddenly a thing.

Fans began citing the good relationship between Feng Jietang and Lang Yuxuan, starting from the time they spent together during the shooting of "Dance Of The Dragons" down to the reality TV show, "3,2,1... Action!".

Suddenly, the time they spent together pondering the best ways to separate Shen Jingwei and Yan Renzhong appeared like an effortless attempt to get to know each other better.

The laughter they exchanged from time to time while concocting their evil plans hinted at a budding connection, bordering on flirting.

Even the casual glances they exchanged in an unspoken understanding held a tender, shy affection that made fans swoon from excitement.

What the fuck! Feng Jietang was close to ripping his hair out of his skull.

What’s with Weibo netizens romanticizing their basically non-existent relationship?

If a bowl of ramen and Lang Yuxuan fell into the river, Feng Jietang might save the bowl of ramen first!

That was how little he cared about Lang Yuxuan!

That’s right!

"I hope there is no problem with the kissing scene?" The commercial director hesitantly asked. The cold aura emanating from Lang Yuxuan and the fiery aura emanating from Feng Jietang failed to boost his confidence in their upcoming performance.

Feng Jietang responded with an angry laughter.

Lang Yuxuan shot him a side glance before curving his lips into a mocking sneer.

"It’s just a kiss. I don’t have a problem at all. Do you, Senior Feng?"

"....."

This little twit! The audacity!

The commercial director gaped at Feng Jietang, unsure how to interpret the tension between the two actors.

"Problem?" Feng Jietang said through gritted teeth. "Why would I even have a problem with kissing someone? Just you wait and see. After I am done kissing you, you won’t be able to kiss anyone else, ever again!"

Lang Yuxuan scoffed.

"Yeah, right," he said.

Lang Yuxuan was skeptical, but the commercial director was more than happy to hear Feng Jietang’s bold declaration.

"Very good, Feng Jietang!" He exclaimed while slapping Feng Jietang on the back. "I am looking forward to your amazing, extraordinary, unforgettable kiss!"

"..."

Feng Jietang only realized the gravity of his boastful words when they arrived at said kissing scene.

The scenario called for a passionate kiss to cap off the first date, a moment that would forever mark the beginning of the love story between the two characters in the commercial.

Lang Yuxuan stood in front of him, wearing a naturally innocent expression across his face. His lips were slightly parted, inviting Feng Jietang to initiate the kiss.

Feng Jietang gulped.

It was now or never, he thought to himself.

He pinched Lang Yuxuan’s chin between his thumb and forefinger before bridging the distance between their lips.
